CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Sky promoted Jeff Pagliocca to general manager Tuesday after hiring Naismith Hall of Famer Teresa Weatherspoon as coach nearly three weeks ago.
Pagliocca spent the past four seasons assisting with player development and advising the head coach.
Pagliocca also owns Evolution Athletics in suburban Deerfield, Illinois, where he works with high school, college, WNBA and NBA players.
“I’m very proud to partner with Coach Weatherspoon and the Sky front office to shape a championship-caliber roster," Pagliocca said in a statement.
But the team announced after the season it would separate the positions like every other team in the WNBA now has done.
